Management of the Difficult Airway
Failure to evaluate the airway and predict difficulty is the single most important factor leading to a failed airway. In this lecture, Dr. Falcinelli focuses on clincally relevant topics related to the management of the airway. The ADA and DAS practice guidelines are reviewed and discussed in terms of putting the guidelines into practice. Relevant research is also presented to build the evidence base.
